At the inception Of the Civil War English

and in 1868 Mr.. Beecher went to London
and elsewhere, and though rebuRed,
nothing daunted, he secured a hearing and
overwhelmingly turned the tide and
secured for the National government con;
scandal burst upon him, and Thee.
Tilton, whom he had loved and cher
i6hed as q son turned upon him,
q most sensational and protracted suit at
law ensued and the country was excited
and somewhat divided in sentiment. So
far as the court was concerned it was near
y e drawn battle, nine OF the Jury holding
to Mr.. Beecher's side and three holding out
against him. In tho shock OF this conflict
he held steadily to the line and measure OF
his work and emerged from it only to 60
forward more earnestly in al
his avenues OF leadership
and usefulness, facts which fully as much
as the Judgment OF men, are the vindication
Of innocence. In this anniversary year OF

and great thought leader has fallen, cut of

apparently measureless future inviting his

was ever submitted to the people by the
Senator, and that the supposition is that
his scheme is only for the annexation OF
the Southern portion of Idaho, to which
they are generally favorable. The DEMe-
Gratis authority for its statement of the
Senator's position in the matter was an
interview with Hon. John HALEY pub
lished in an Idaho paper. Mr.. HALEY,
as Congressional Delegate from a Ter
ritory so directly interested, certainly
ought to be well informed, and it seems
almost impossible that he should have
been mistaken. Itseems, however, more
surprising that the Senator should make
such radical change in his programme
from the one which he submitted to the
people of his State during his canvass.
If he has done so, his constituents
should lose no time in protesting most
emphatically against the attachment OF
their loyal little State to the tail OF the
Mormon Kite They will find that they
will be sufficiently annoyed by the in
PRODUCTION of such disturbing element
into their politics as the comparatively
few followers of the priesthood, living in
the portion OF Idaho proposed to be an
nexed. With the addition of Utah
they would be completely showed
under by the avalanche of Mormon votes.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Last evening witnessed the permanent
organization of the Salt Lake Board OF
Trade and Chamber of Commerce. Bus
mess enthusiasm was the order of the
evening, and the Salt Lake Board of
Trade begins its career of promise will. a
membership of seventy-two. That tho
magnificent promise of the new institu-
ton will be realized, is beyond doubt.
The movement has revealed an over
mastering strength from the beginning.
This strength has known nothing but
development as the movement pro-
gressed. Cold encouragement from some
sources, and factious and fanatical oppo-
sition from others, have been utterly dis
regarded. All attempts to stay the on
ward march of consolidated interests
have been brushed aside with the arm of
conscious power, and the destinies OF
Salt Lake will ,henceforth be guided by
her united business men.

attitude OF the Democratic Chief Execu-

"In performance of the serious duty
which Congress has imposed upon me,

power conferred under the act referred
to, l shall deem myself bound TO infict
no unnecessary damage or injury upon
any portion of our people, but / shall
nevertheless be unfinchingly guided by
a sense of what the self-respect
and dignity of the Nation de-
mand. In the maintenance of
these, and in support of the honor OF the
Government beneath which every citizen
may repose in safety, no sacrifice of
personal nor private interests shall be
considered as against the general well
fare"
